PC INTERFACE
Interface with a PC, to allow uploading settings and downloading data, is accomplished
by connecting the GEO 2 to a PC USB Port using the special USB Interface Cable.
The software program together with the USB Driver required is on the Oceanlog CD, and
can be downloaded from the OceanicWorldwide web site. The program's HELP** serves
as the user manual which can be printed for personal use.
**Prior to attempting to download data from your GEO 2 or upload settings to it,
review the HELP section of the Oceanlog program. Recommended is to print those
sections of HELP that you consider appropriate for your Interface activities.
The settings upload portion of the Oceanlog program can be used to set/change the Main
Time, Date, Set A group (Alarms), Set U group (Utilities), and FREE mode items using the
same Interface System. FO2 must be set using the control buttons.
Information available for retrieval (download) from the GEO 2 to the PC download portion
of the program includes dive data such as number, surface interval time, maximum depth,
elapsed dive time, no deco status, start date/time, lowest temperature under water, sam-
pling rate, dive profile, and set points.
The Oceanlog program also allows upgrade of select versions of the GEO 2's firmware
(operating system software) after which the GEO 2 resets all operating data. Since the
upgrades require reset of the GEO 2, they are blocked during 24 hours after dives.
